59 Kabalite Warriors

I made this list for fun, but it turned out looking pretty competitive


Essentially, Duke goes with that first warrior raider, and the archon goes with one of the trueborn squads. Move, Kill.
Hopefully the reavers can find a priority target among the chaos.

12 Dark Lances
9 Blasters (and a Blast Pistol)

56 "Twin linked" splinter rifles
10 splinter cannons
=40 shots at 36"
=96 shots at 24"
=152 shots at 12" (assuming all your guys survive that long)



I might try this (or a scaled-down version) against tau...
Turn 1: Flat out as close as possible
Turn 2: Hope that some of the transports survived, move up and shoot
Turn 3+: Charge if possible, or just shoot at anything that moves

Will you be usings the Dukes special rules and Deep Strike in and shoot? Not sure if you can though, can't check up the rules for the Duke's rule now... Otherwise, ditch the duke and get another ravager!

Not to be rude or anything, but that isnt a "competitive" list.
You will struggel against veichle spam, you will struggle against flyer lists. You will in general struggle at 2Kpts against well balanced lists.

Leaving aside any considerations of competitiveness, my concern would be that it might be a teensy bit dull to play with - somewhat repetitive.

Just a thought.

You've got a splinter cannon in a 9 man squad of warriors which you can't do unfortunately and your archon should be 115 points. Personally I would swap out the archon or the duke (probably the duke unless you're using his deepstrike) to fill out that reaver squad with some more guys and some heat lances or blasters

Venoms are the cheapest way to spam splinter shots.

you also need that third ravager. Actually I would drop the Archon and the illegal cannon for it.

The reavers are the only thing that is out of place. If you put an entire army with nightshields, the one element without nightshields is weaker due to not almost always being in range. Now you could just put them in reserves, hide them, and then only bladevane when nessescary, but even then they arent going to do much as a 3 man unit. But what I would drop them for... idk. Maybe blasters on a few squads (or drop the splinter racks to increase their numbers)

Hmm you guys make some good points


I have the choice to deep strike, largely depending on if I go first

I can't see this list having trouble against vehicle spam... I could even deep strike both of the venoms
Maybe I could drop something and take a voidraven or razorwing to deal with flyers... Eh.

Thanks for pointing out the price issues >_< I was pretty tired when I wrote this.
I don't like putting anything on reavers, since I use them mostly to draw fire and suicide bladevane.

The reavers will be able to hide somewhere, plus they can shoot and move back 2D6". It wouldn't hurt to add more (and maybe cluster caltrops), I guess.

Deepstrike is not something that suits us at all, and shouldnt really be considered IMO.

Reavers are good at 2 things and you are doing neither. 1) Bladevanes and 2) Heat lances.
Without doing either I dont see a reason to leave them in at all.
